One of the fundamental requirements of a township, if it has to fulfil its potential, is to make sure that residents are provided with every kind of facility such as connectivity and logistics, education, healthcare, recreation, leisure, lifestyle etc. to make it a complete eco system.
And when the township aims to be the cradle of a resurgent Bengal, it has to be planned in such a way that the development of none of the above-mentioned facilities is left to chance or attended to with less stringency than it demands.
Sujalaam Skycity, which is the first of its kind in India — an aerotropolis that combines the finest living standards with effulgent industrial development — does, indeed, aim to write a new chapter in the history of Bengal. Therefore, it was imperative to make sure that its future citizens got access to a life that ensured holistic wellness, which began with top-notch medical care.
Sujalaam Skycity is coming up a stone’s throw away from City Center Durgapur, which is already renowned for excellent medical institutions such as The Mission Hospital, DSP Main Hospital, Vivekananda Hospital, ESI Hospital, Disha Eye Care, IQ City Medical College and IQ City Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital.
While surrounded by such a bevy of first-rate healthcare institutes, Sujalaam Skycity is creating a healthcare cluster, which will have a set of hospitals and medical facilities right within its own premises.
The Mission Hospital is coming up with a new chapter within the precincts of the aerotropolis. Dr. Satyajit Bose, renowned cardiac surgeon and the founder of The Mission Hospital, believes Sujalaam Skycity will play a big role in boosting healthcare industry in the region. “For me, the airport is the game changer. That’s why we decided to set up Mission Hospital in Sujalaam. The airport will help us connect better with patients and specialists and play a big role in promoting medical tourism in the area,” he said.
Moreover, Sujalaam will also have its own nursing training institute, which is now being set up by the Heritage Foundation. – a more-than-300-bed multispecialty hospital spread over three acres.
While Sujalaam Skycity is gearing up to chart a history of developed, state-of-the-art, affluent Bengal, it hasn’t forgotten that true wealth, without a doubt, is health.
